The site enables Sainsbury’s to offer its employees interactive financial advice, meaning staff can go online to request face-to-face advice and explore personal financial issues relevant to their circumstances.

Geof Pearson, pensions manager at Sainsbury’s, said: “Install-ing My Financial Friend via our pensions website opens up access to further financial information and advice, complementing the range of existing staff benefits.”
